I think Fenton should come back - that island started to sink into the sea a little towards the end of the season. But Chalmers did not get a lot of burn, Tavyn Jackson and even Jam are still unproven, Nixon did not get a lot of PT and would be a Senior anyway, along with Montac, and Montac is more of a Safety.

Bottom line - lots of need at DB in general and CB in particular. I think we are in good shape on the DL and LB, so the DBs are the big question mark. We need two and would take three, I believe.

I think Nixon will be a good one next year. He got behind the 8 ball cause they tried converting him to a safety and he is a natural corner. Unlike the old staff the new staff quickly realized this and got him back on track. He has made some big plays in his little bit of playing time.

Montac is a very impressive player that I do not think anyone thought would do anything when and how he came in. He always seems to be around the ball and can hit with anyone in the country. He has made some big plays for us.

We do need to get some young corners on the field so that older experienced players can help them along next season. Jam will be better.

I like Nixon too, he just came in late and that held him back. And Montac has been a find also - we missed him early when he was hurt.

..If UT hires him quick enough Im sure if Pruitt wants Horn he will pursue him for sure. I hope that is not the case because I believe if we could get Horn to Columbia to go along with Character and some players we already have on campus we would have a top 10 or better back field in a year or so. That would also set us up for recruiting and getting very good DBs every year for a while.
But if Pruitt gets hired I would bet Horn heads back up to Knoxville.

I think a recent recruit summarized it best. These guys build relationships with these coaches sometimes for years. When the entire coaching staff leaves there is no more relationship. Pruitt would have to do in 2 weeks what it took Butch and his staff years to build.
